The Los Angeles Police Department has assigned 40 investigators to look into 56 allegations of misconduct, including use of excessive force, by officers during protests and civil unrest in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, officials said.
Twenty-eight of the 56 complaints related to use-of-force accusations, resulting in seven officers being removed from the streets and reassigned to non-field duties, the LAPD said Wednesday.
The investigators will “look into every complaint thoroughly” and hold officers accountable for their actions if found in violation of LAPD policies.
The department also provided an email address for complaints specifically related to the demonstrations in Los Angeles, which have been met by violence from cops in some instances, according to numerous videos reviewed by the Los Angeles Times.
